Objective To verify the application of anterior segment perfusion culture and trabecular meshwork (TM) organ culture for glaucoma study. Methods TM tissue was cultured by perfused anterior segment and TM organ culture, light microscopy was used to observe the TM cells and intercellular spaces.Results IOP of the porcine anterior segments perfused under constant flow at 0.1 mL/h could bekept in normal range(10~12 mmHg). The IOP was elevated with the increasing of perfusion rate, while the morphology and structure of the tissue were well preserved. TM cultured by TM organ culture could also reserve the tissues well, but the intercelluar spaces collapsed. Conclusion Anterior segment perfusion model could be a short-term high-pressure model and may simulate the normal physical state. Adequate perfusion was necessary for normal TM.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism underlying pruritus by comparing the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor(EGFRI)-erlotinib mouse model with the substance P(SP)-induced pruritus mouse model. Methods Two randomized groups of mice were treated with erlotinib or SP to induce pruritus. Behavioral and skin manifestations were observed. Pathological images and neurokinin 1 receptor(NK-1R)expression of the skin were determined. Concentration of interleukin(IL)-31, IL-33, histamine, leukotriene B4, and SP was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Nitric oxide was analyzed by colorimetry. Results Transient pruritus induced by erlotinib appeared 2 to 5 days after treatment. In contrast, continuous pruritus was observed during the first hour, but was then gradually relieved. These two shared similar scratching behavior. Concentration of neurotransmitters showed similar trends in changes among the erlotinib group and SP group. Immunohistochemical expression was also consistent between the erlotinib group and SP group. Conclusions Erlotinib-associated pruritus is related to release of signaling factors through the SP/NK-1R signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the effect of cardiac rehabilitation rehabilitation interventions on elderly patients with AMI after PCI.Methods:From March 2016 to October 2017, 100 elderly AMI patients were selected and divided into two groups according to PCI operation time, 50 in each group; the control group was given routine cardiac exercise rehabilitation intervention, and the experimental group was given cardiac exercise rehabilitation intervention under the family support system. PSSs, HAMA, HAMD, HHI, mace and WHOQOL BREF were compared before and after intervention.Results:After 6 months of follow-up, a total of 82 valid data were obtained, including 43 in the control group and 39 in the experimental group. After the intervention, the PSSS scores of the two groups were improved, and the PSSS score of the experimental group (70.5±5.4) was better than that of the control group (57.7±4.5) ( t values were 10.481-16.932, P<0.01). After the intervention, the HAMA and HAMD scores of the two groups were decreased ( t values were 5.298-22.114, P<0.05), and the experimental group scores (6.5±1.3) and (10.1±1.8) were lower than the control group (9.8±1.2) and (16.5±2.4)( t values were 11.745, 13.806, P<0.01). After intervention, the HHI dimensions and total scores of the two groups were increased ( t values were -10.778--8.539, P<0.01), and the experimental group scores (10.5±1.4, 10.2±1.5, 9.9±1.4, 30.6±3.1) were higher than the control group (8.6±1.2, 8.3±1.1, 8.6±1.1, 25.5±2.7) ( t values were 5.639-15.300, P<0.05); After intervention, the overall incidence of MACE in the experimental group(7.69%)was lower than that in the control group (27.91%)( χ2 values were 5.591, P<0.05); After the intervention, the WHOQOL-BREF scores of both groups were improved, and the experimental group score was superior to the control group ( t values were 2.095-5.479, P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:Cardiac exercise rehabilitation intervention under the family support system can effectively relieve the negative emotions of elderly patients with AMI after PCI, effectively improve the understanding of social support ability and hope level, effectively reduce the incidence of MACE, and effectively improve the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the value of quantitative multi-phase enhanced MRI combined with histogram analysis of ADC in differential diagnosis of intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma (HBCA) and intrahepatic biliary cystadeno carcinoma (HBCAC). Methods Twenty-five patients with pathologically confirmed intrahepatic biliary cystic tumor (HBCT), including 16 cases of HBCA and 9 cases of HBCAC, were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients underwent upper abdominal MR plain scan and multi-phase enhanced scan. The MRI findings of the lesions were observed. The peak contrast enhancement ratio (pCER) of the lesions in the arterial phase, portal venous phase and delayed phase was calculated. ADC histogram analysis was performed and the quantitative parameters were acquired, including the average,standard deviation, median, kurtosis, skewness, and the 10th, 30th,70th, 90th percentile. Qualitative parameters were compared using Fisher exact test. The continuous variables with normal distribution and homogeneous variance were compared by independent sample t test. The continuous variables with skewed distribution were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. The ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the differential diagnostic ability of the variables with significant differences between HBCA and HBCAC patients.Results There was a statistically significant difference between HBCA and HBCAC in terms of gender, age and whether there was bile duct dilatation or mural nodules (all P<0.05). However, the maximum diameter, high signal intensity of the cystic fluid on T1WI and septa of the lesions were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The pCER of arterial phase, portal venous phase and delayed phase of HBCAC patients were higher than those of HBCA patients (all P<0.05).The standard deviation of ADC value of HBCAC group was higher than that of HBCA group, while the kurtosis and the 10th percentile were lower than those of HBCA group, and the differences were statistically significant between the two groups (all P<0.05). When the 10th percentile value of ADC histogram was≤ 2.060 × 10-3 mm2/s, the area under the ROC curve of discriminating between HBCA and HBCAC was the largest (0.861), and the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were 84.0 % and 77.8 % and 87.5 %, respectively. Conclusion Quantitative multi-phase enhanced MRI combined with histogram analysis of ADC had certain value for the differential diagnosis of HBCA and HBCAC, and the 10th percentile of the ADC histogram had the best diagnostic efficiency.
